successful bid price of floor standing battery project in Spain 2025

Should batteries be a 'pay as bid' model in Spain?

As things stand in Spain, batteries will need a significant boost from capacity prices to fill the gap above wholesale, balancing & ancillary revenue streams. The ‘pay as bid’ structure of the capacity market can help battery assets achieve this.

Are batteries set for a boost in Spain this year?

Batteries look set for a boost in Spain this year as the country introduces a capacity market to help integrate renewable energy into the grid. The launch of the nation’s first capacity market was announced in October , following a consultation in . - It will a

How much does a battery plant cost in Spain?

Battery plants picked up more than 655 MW of capacity in the auction, with a clearing price of £35.79 per kW a year. This volume was dwarfed by the almost 3 GW of capacity awarded to gas plants, which is likely a guide to what will happen in Spain as well.

Can batteries access the balancing market in Spain?

Balancing markets are another key source of battery revenue, but regulatory reform is required for batteries to access the Spanish balancing market. This is likely to happen relatively quickly but creates uncertainty around the level of balancing revenues.

How can battery assets achieve 'pay as bid'?

The ‘pay as bid’ structure of the capacity market can help battery assets achieve this. Batteries may be very flexible, but they are constrained by relatively short duration response (e.g. a 1 to 4 hours discharge range).

“The T-4 capacity auction cleared at £63 ($71.07)/kW per year, representing the highest clearing price on record. The price was more than double the previous record.”

This abundance of flexible hydro generation helped mask the growing solar pressure on prices, keeping daily spreads relatively compressed at around €73/MWh despite massive solar buildout. These compressed spreads have lowered the energy arbitrage opportunity for batteries. However, despite another

Grid firm power capacity contracts, available to cover peak demand when needed, would be allocated via auctions with successful bidders being paid a fixed monthly fee for megawatts available and a price in euro, negotiated as part of the auction bid process, for each megawatt-hour of electricity

The blueprint for the capacity market includes two key differences to similar mechanisms in other European countries: (i) a zero emissions limit on new capacity excludes the development of gas plants and (ii) ‘paid as bid’ pricing (vs the usual ‘paid as cleared’). Existing assets can bid for 1 year
